Secrets of Seacliff House Reviews

Book and Review Courtesy of Romance Junkies, also posted at TBR Mountain Range.A contemporary rendition of the classic Gothic romance style, this novel is filled with intrigue. Amongst the mysteries, love is blossoming between Kayla and Tanner. Will the murderous past of Seacliff House allow a happy-ever-after in the present?Kayla Grayson lives with her agoraphobic mother, Suzanne, who has always been secretive about her past. Kayla begins to doubt everything her mother has led her to believe when Suzanne shows her an email from a cousin in Maryland, one that Kayla never knew existed. Kayla decides to drive to Maryland to meet her cousin, and find out if the man this cousin mentioned in her email is actually Kayla's long-assumed-dead father, now alive.Before Kayla has a chance to explore the Bed and Breakfast owned by her cousin, she meets Tanner Bishop. Tanner is a journalist, who has his own goals, but also becomes a much needed, knowledgeable friend for Kayla, whether she wants one or not. Realizing that they're both staying at the same B&B is an unexpected coincidence, but ends up being the perfect opportunity for both of them. Driven by the clues found in a family journal regarding the disappearance of his great-grandmother in the 1950s, Tanner came to Maryland to find out what happened to her. The last anyone remembers, his great-grandmother worked at Seacliff House, so he can't believe his luck when Kayla turns out to be the owner's long-lost granddaughter.It doesn't take Kayla and Tanner long to realize that the ghosts of the past have a lot more to say than either of them imagined. Working together on their common goals to discover their individual family history, they can't deny their attraction to each other. Is it safe to hope for a future when the past wants to repeat itself? Seacliff House holds the secrets, but do they really want to know them?Kayla is a likeable heroine who craves family—so much so that she's willing to overlook a few oddities to give even the most cantankerous relative a chance, including the grandmother who chased her daughter away twenty-four years ago. I'm not sure I'd have as much patience with the mean old lady, but Kayla looks for the good in everyone. Tanner helps Kayla by offering his strength when she needs it. Their romance is sweet and slowly builds amidst the danger of snooping where the truth wants to stay buried. I generally like a more sensual love story, but the subtleness of the characters' attraction was appropriate for the plot. This self-published novel is an adventurous read, with some evil characters who push the envelope in their cruelty and disrespect towards others. Even though I felt the story could use some tightening, there wasn't a lag in my interest. I could tell that the author had this book edited—that in itself makes this eBook a great value for those who want something different. I had a good time trying to outwit each revelation because there sure were enough of them to keep the pacing engaging. For those who miss the time-honored Gothic romance of the past, I think you'll enjoy this contemporary rendition, which has a more complicated plot than most.Author Stacey Coverstone has taken the traditional Gothic romance idea and updated it with a modern couple, each successful in their career. No governess hoping to marry the dark hero in this one, just two intelligent people looking for family connections together. The unassuming small coastal town suits the spooky appeal, complete with stormy nights to increase the eerie feeling that the house already exudes, while getting to know some creepy residents. SECRETS OF SEACLIFF HOUSE juggles twists and turns within a mystery combined with ghosts and family secrets. In classic Gothic romance style, the house is alive with stories waiting to be told and if you're like me, you'll race along to hear them. Can a house full of secrets continue to harbor the evil it has always known? If you've often wondered about Gothic romance, or love it as much as I do, this novel is a fun way to explore it.

This has been one of my favorite books read in 2012. I was drawn into the book right from the very first chapter. The characters are so easy to fall in love with that you just wanted to keep going to see what happens......I highly recommend this to anyone who loves a good mystery story

Sue Ross2018-12-29 07:45

While this isn't my normal type of mystery, I did enjoy the twists and turns and the shocking ending. If it were a series, I could see myself reading it.

Stella2018-12-25 10:46

I really enjoyed this book..Thanks Lori for recommending it...A light mystery..light romance....perfect for a weekend read...

Annie2018-12-22 13:14

Trite, contrived and predictableIt had a few good, scary scenes, but the overall story was boring. I had it figured out before I was half done.

Ramonita Torres2019-01-04 11:48

Awesome read!!!!!I would recommend this book to family and friends of all ages! Loved it to the end!! It ended as it should have ended!

Cheryl Landmark2019-01-01 10:06

This was a nice Gothic mystery but with a modern-day, contemporary setting. Seacliff House embodied the perfect creepy, spooky mansion often found in these types of mysteries. And the story was rife with secrets, lies, danger, murder, evil and even a touch of the supernatural.Kayla was a likeable character--strong, feisty, stubborn and determined to find out about her family, even if it meant revealing sordid, heart-breaking secrets from the past that might shatter her world as she knew it. Tanner was gorgeous, sexy, considerate and compassionate, and I really liked how the romance between him and Kayla built slowly and sweetly. Sonora Chandler was another kettle of fish altogether--a truly cruel, evil woman with no compassion, kindness or empathy for anyone but herself and the Chandler reputation, and the servants, Martine and David, were almost as bad.The story was well written, but I do have to say I found the revelations and secrets revealed to be fairly predictable and not exactly earth-shattering.The climax near the end of the book was exciting and well-done, but the final revelation unfortunately seemed to me to be far too convenient and contrived--it wrapped things up maybe a little too nicely.All in all, though, I really enjoyed reading this book and will definitely read more of Ms. Coverstone's novels in the future.

Kayla Grayson, is surprised to learn after twenty four years, she has family in a small beach community in Maryland. When she travels there, she befriends a man named Tanner, who is researching the disappearance of his great grand mother, Pearl. Together Tanner and Kayla uncover the truth about her grandmother Sonora and the death of her father. It is a slow paced story, that you can figure out what Sonora has been up to since the fifties. You need patience reading this story, but it is worthwhile.

What a disappointment!! I was hoping a beach mystery while on the beach would be the perfect vacation read; well it wasn't. Took a while to figure out what the mystery really was and the characters were so underdeveloped that I really didn't care what their motivations were as implausible as they were. I should have put it down but it's like a train wreck, you have this morbid need to see how truly awful it will wind up being.

DelightfulThis story was a fun read. The characters were well drawn and the old house was a perfect backdrop for the mystery. I gave it four stars because of a few editing errors. Excellent book though, I look forward to reading more of Stacey Coverstone's work.

TwistyGreat story full of surprises It had everything in it to keep you reading, long lost father secrets about your mother, ghost and love at the end

Pamela2019-01-13 09:07

Wasn't really as exiting as I had hoped. Felt the story was draggy & not much "ghost activity". Might try another one of her books and see if I like it better.

Karen2018-12-27 11:56

JuJust the kind of book I was looking for. With its twist and turns, fast read and the mansion with a secret room. What can be better.

Jo Notary2018-12-22 12:53

Linda 2019-01-10 13:47

Secrets cause problemsI love this book. Story of love and deception and hate. A person can do anyting when hate rules. Love is so much better; love gives a calming effect usually?
